The harshest truth behind the criminal record is that after the lone wolf was freed from prison under court supervision, numerous NGOs with whom he previously worked stopped offering work and distanced themselves from him. He has applied for several local and international fellowships. They all denied him....

Cambodia protested Thailand’s plan to hold a public events and religious ceremonies at Ta Krabey temple and open it for public visits and ticketing on June 6-7. Cambodia also condemned the recent destruction of a wooden staircase by Thai forces leading to K’nar temple, which was constructed by Cambodian authorities in 2017.
The heritage of Preah Vihear Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, suffered severe damage from artillery and airstrikes by Thai troops during the Cambodia-Thailand border clashes in July and December 2025. Video: Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts.
The court should drop all charges against @MechDara1 so he can regain full freedom, as the unresolved case continues to cause some institutions to discriminate against him and hesitate to hire him.
"Thailand has long sought to connect Preah Vihear to its own historical narrative. However, it is difficult to accept a state claiming attachment to a monument while at the same time contributing to its destruction. If Preah Vihear mattered to Thailand, it should have been protected, not harmed. Cambodia's duty is clear: protect what remains, document the damage, and preserve the monument for future generations. The challenge is immense. The temple remains closed while unexploded Thai ordnance is cleared and structural instability is assessed. The full restoration may take decades and require significant resources." https://t.co/3S47nyW3hA
